3 PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND The purpose of the (ETP) is to identify and develop players, coaches, umpires and selectors across Queensland to improve the depth of talent across all areas of the game. Netball Queensland run 1 2 day ETP clinics across 12 regions twice a year. Following the completion of the Phase 2 Clinics, 16U Teams will be selected from each region to compete in the Nissan 16U State Titles. This is to provide an opportunity for the best players (aged 15-16) to compete against each other in a high quality competition. This event also provides development opportunities for the appointed coaches, managers and umpires. The QLD 17U Squad for the following year will be selected and announced at the end of this event. Importantly, this competition also serves as a transition point from Association based netball (State Age, QPL) into regional representative netball aligned with Sapphire Series licensees to assist in optimising the transition rates into the State League competition. TERMS AND DEFINITIONS (ETP): The name given to the overall program which consists of 24 clinics delivered across Queensland. Importantly the term Talent within the title, refers to players, coaches, umpires and selectors. 16U & 18U State Titles: In 2019 the 16U State Titles will follow the same format as in 2018, and the 18U State Titles will replace the 2018 City v Country Series. Queensland 17U and 19U Training Squads: will be the group of approximately players chosen (in each squad) following the 16U and 18U State Titles. These two squads will attend training camps in early 2020 to assist in the final selection of 17U and 19U Queensland teams for the 2020 National Netball Championships. Coordinators (ETPC): Persons appointed to assist in the coordination of the Emerging Talent clinics around Queensland. Talent: is defined as those players, coaches and umpires who demonstrate the potential for higher honours not only through their current level of performance, but also their willingness to take on board feedback, self-awareness and commitment to their own development. ABOUT THE PROGRAM The (ETP) is a multi-faceted program, designed to enhance a range of participant roles across Queensland. The concept is underpinned by the belief that a coach s capacity to create a quality training environment, conducive to learning and enjoyment is critical to developing and retaining netballers. By providing support beyond the formal accreditation process to coaches, Netball Queensland seeks to indirectly enhance the daily training environment for players across the state. The ETP, aims to address four key pillars of the netball community. 1.

The registration cost for each phase is $40. PHASE 1 CLINICS: Phase 1 Clinics will be held in February/March 2019 and will target player development in key areas identified by the State Selectors. Coach and umpire development programs will also run alongside the player development program. The following process is used to determine the players who will attend Phase 1 Clinics. Self-Registration: Players turning 15 or 16 in the current year (born 2003 or 2004), are invited to register via the MyNetball link on the NQ website to attend the ETP Clinic in their local area. They must be registered with an Association within the geographical area, consistent with their License Holder catchment areas. (refer Appendix 1). The registration window for Phase will open on the 18 January and close on the 8 February. No late registrations will be accepted. Any player who misses the registration window for Phase 1 will still be able to register for Phase 2. Special consideration may be given to a player who is unable to attend their local ETP clinic to attend a neighbouring program for Phase 1 only. Players are only permitted to attend two ETP clinics for the year and will not be able to attend a Phase 2 Clinic outside their own region. Players who have dual registration may only trial for one 16U State Titles team as part of the Emerging Talent clinics. While any player can register themselves, it is important that players, parents and coaches understand that this program is aimed at players who are already performing over and above many of their peers, (refer to guidelines below). In deciding whether they are at ETP standard, players should consider registering if they can answer yes to any of the following: Have you played in a Queensland Premier League team or Vicki Wilson Cup team in 2018? Have you played 15 yrs State Age level in 2018? 4.

7 Have you played at the 15U Queensland Schoolgirls Champs in 2017 and 2018? Have you played at QISSN in 2018? Have you played indoor netball for Queensland in 2017/18? Are you a State representative in any other team/ball sport? Have you recently re-located to Queensland and played at a comparative level in any other State? The above is not the criteria for registering, but they are guidelines to consider. If you cannot answer yes to any of the above, and are not sure if you should register, please discuss with your coach for their advice. Netball Queensland will attempt to include every registered player, however should the selfregistration process yield an extraordinarily high number of registrations, the relevant Associations and Talent Scouts will be consulted to assist in refining the invite list. In this situation, it is possible that not every registered player will be able to attend. Local talent scouts will also provide input on the final selection of players. Any player not selected to attend the Clinic will be refunded their registration fee. PHASE 2 CLINICS Phase 2 Clinics will be held in June/July 2019 and while there is still an emphasis on player, coach and umpire development, team selections for the 16U State Titles are confirmed at Phase 2, and any player wanting to be considered for selection in their Regional 16U Team needs to attend this phase unless they have received an exemption from Netball Queensland. Note that it is not compulsory to have attended Phase 1 before registering and attending Phase 2, though it is recommended. In addition, if you register and attend Phase 1 and you want to also attend Phase 2, you need to register for Phase 2. Players not able to attend Phase 2 may still be considered for selection in their respective 16U Team if they have applied for and received an exemption from Netball Queensland. Please send any application for an exemption to the Performance Pathways Manager; Tracey Fear tracey.fear@netballq.org.au For Phase 2, there are 2 ways in which players may be registered for Phase 2: 1. Self-Registration: Please refer to Phase 1 information on self-registration and note that the registration window for Phase will be advised following Phase 1 and players will not be able to attend a Phase 2 Clinic outside their own region. 2. State Selector identification: State selectors will be attending events between Phase 1 and 2. They may identify a player that may not have registered for Phase 2 and may recommend that the identified player registers for Phase 2. 5.

11 NISSAN 16U STATE TITLES The Nissan 16U State Titles will be conducted by Netball Queensland. In 2019 the event will be held at the new home of Queensland netball, the Queensland State Netball Centre. Netball Queensland will coordinate all logistics including accommodation for the event and work with each team manager to coordinate individual team logistics.
